Appearance:
The Mauve Quaker stands out for its soft grayish-purple plumage, giving it a pastel, almost silky look. Unlike the original green Quaker, this mutation has a cooler-toned body with matching gray cheeks and chest, and a slightly darker hue on the wings and back. Its beak is horn-colored, and the overall effect is subtle and refined.
Personality:
Like all Quakers, the Mauve variety is intelligent, social, and full of personality. They are playful, affectionate, and can be very loyal to their human companions. These parrots often display a bit of independence and can be feisty at times, but with consistent training and socialization, they become loving and entertaining companions.
Talking Ability:
Mauve Quakers are excellent talkers. They can learn a wide vocabulary and speak in a clear voice. Many owners report that their Quakers pick up words and phrases quickly and enjoy “conversations” with their humans.
Noise Level:
Quakers are known for being chatty. While not as loud as larger parrots, they can still be vocal, especially in the mornings or when seeking attention. They’re best suited for homes that can tolerate moderate noise.

Social Needs: Daily interaction and stimulation to prevent boredom
Housing: Medium to large cage with perches, chew toys, and climbing space
